Description
A sunrise nervous system reset meditation with somatic grounding, pendulum imagery, CBT-style reflection, and gentle focus on choice, boundaries, and abundance—led by meditation teacher and counselor Lauren Ostrowski Fenton, with options to support her work via PayPal and Patreon.
Welcome, lovely one. This guided meditation is a gentle nervous system reset, recorded at sunrise in South Australia with the sounds of cockatoos, rosellas, parrots, and kookaburras in the background.
You’ll be invited to:
- Settle your body and soften the jaw, shoulders, and brow
- Rest one hand on your belly and one on your heart (or simply imagine them there)
- Move between activation and safety using a pendulum-style somatic focus
- Practice affirmations such as: “I am here. I am held. I am allowed to feel good.”
- Explore a calm lake visualization for letting go
- Reflect on what is within your control and what is not (the “two bowls” practice)
- Choose one small act of change in your life
- Visualize golden roots to the earth and a silver thread to the sky, aligning motivation and acceptance
- Imagine clear boundaries (a castle and moat) protecting your values
- Gently recalibrate your nervous system with golden healing light
This practice may support you if you’re feeling:
- Overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally flooded
- Stuck in people-pleasing or over-responsibility for others
- Tired from grief, stress, or life transitions
- In need of a calm, steady reminder that you are allowed to feel good, safe, and held
Please take what you need, pause where you need, and let this be a soft place to land.
